Amoeba - Day In Black (2011)


Genre: Death Metal
From: Bitcherland, Lorraine, France


1. The Incoming Vehemence
2. Martyrdom
3. Our Last Grasp









A pretty swell debut with some pretty swell production value. For some 17 year old French kids, I was fairly surprised how good this was. It's pretty 8r0074l, just listen and you'll see. Download it and like them on Facebook and what not.

A Place For The End - The Killing Mood PRE-PRODUCTION (2011)


Genre: Progressive Life Metal
From: Milwaukee WI, USA


1. Robotech
2. Jack's Folklore




Some good Midwestern death metal. The genre is listed as Life Metal, because they sent that in the request and it made me LOL. Cool dudes that aren't uptight tuff guys, who have been building a name for themselves in Wisconsin and Illinois the past year. A lot of you guys will like this band, so check them out and like them on Facebook.

Throne Of Legions - EP (2011)


Genre: Death Metal
From: Paducah KY, USA


1. Lucifer Unbound
2. Morbid Passions
3. Celestial
4. Chaos Planet








I'm not really a big death metal guy, that's moreso Drew's thing, but I genuinely enjoy this band. Another thing I'm not is a genre whore, but to get technical these dudes are "Melodic Blackened Technical Death Metal", and each adjective justly describes their sound. For being a couple of bros chilling making tunes, this is awesome, and I'm stoked for more from them.

The Wrath Of Vesuvius - Portals Through Ophiuchus (2010)


Genre: Technical Death Metal
From: San Jose CA, USA


1. Doomed To Ignominy
2. The Final Reich
3. Manipulative Delusion
4. Aftermath
5. Destroyer
6. Instrumental
7. Perception of Time
8. Descendants Of The Fallen Star

I'm not normally too big on death metal unless it's something that really grabs my attention, and Wrath Of Vesuvius definitely does this. Well structured songs that blend multiple styles and influences, they're definitely worth checking out, many of you probably have already since this is an older release. Don't blame me, band request home boy.

Ingested - The Surreption 2011 [REVIEW]


Genre: Death Metal
Location: Manchester, UK

Tracklist:
1. Crowning The Abomination
2. Decline
3. The Consequence
4. A Coming Unperceived
5. The Disgusting Revelation
6. Castigation And Rebirth
7. Manifesting Obscenity
8. 22
9. Kingmaker
10. The Alpha
11. Omega


Hailing from Manchester England, Ingested is a whirlwind of a band. Crazy kicks, killer riffs, and vocals that bring it all together! What I really like about these guys is that they're a death metal band that isn't afraid to think outside of the traditional Death Metal box and take chances. The evolution of death metal is here, and Ingested is leading the pack.


The bands newest release is called "The Surreption". You can find uploaded tracks on their Myspace. Ingested offers many different influences and metal genres spliced into a frenzied, yet very organized chaotic sound. They have something for everyone. If brutal death is what you're into, they'll split your skull. If grind is your poison, they'll inject your veins. If old school hardcore chorus chanting is your fancy, Ingested will be pumping fists along side of you! So on and so forth... This makes for a very enjoyable listen with twists and turns that will make you headbang like a beast, break things/yell or just drive real fast (I drive for a living and had Ingested blasting). I find all these different elements blend very well with the Death Metal genre that these guys have obviously mastered. There's never a dull moment when listening to Ingested's The Surreption.



Being a musician, the first thing I listen for when giving a new album/band a preview is the guitar work, and the quality and talent of the drummer. I honestly can't pick out any flaws in this wonderfully produced album, top notch! I'm very impressed with the guitar performance and the face melting, neck breaking riffs. The amp tone used is heavy, crunchy, and still very audible. You can clearly hear every note the guitarist is playing. The drummer in this band is a full blown maniac. His grasp of timing and time changes is impeccable. His blasts and kicks are almost inhuman. He is definitely the fuel that powers the mighty Ingested machine.

I would highly recommend Ingested - The Surreption to any fan of extreme metal. I honestly wish I would have found this band sooner, as they have everything I look for in a metal band/album. I enjoyed them so much ,that I NEEDED to get their 2 previous album releases. If you get this album , you won't be disappointed so go out and get it!

PS: The only thing that I found ..well didn't find with Ingested was the lack of guitar solos and leads. A true death metal song always has a solo haha

Album Rating: 8/10

Awaiting The Apocalypse - At War With The Dead (2011)


Genre: Melodic Deathcore
From: Sacramento CA, USA


1. A-T.A.P.
2. Falling Down (D.M.F)
3. J-Town Kool-Aid
4. They Rise
5. I Will Beat You To Death To Prove My Love To You
6. Therapist
7. The Battle At Yonkers
8. Below The Influence
9. The Battle Of Hope
10. M.H.A.L.D.


Solid deathcore with some swell melodic death metal riffs and those breakdowns you kids love so much. It's a little more "death" than it is "core", but a lot of you will probably dig this band if you're not already into them. Like them on facebook and let them know your opinion of the album.

Death Crowned King - The Sum Of Slaughter (2011)


Genre: Technical Death Metal

1. Intro
2. Raid And Terror
3. Catalyst For The Imperfect Breed
4. An Abattoir For The Defiant
5. Light Entrapment
6. A Sunless Curse
7. Immaculate Decay
8. Consumption
9. Within Walls Of Confinement




Fast, Loud, and Brutal. At first clicking this band's Facebook I was skeptical it would be good, and I was blown away. The album gets into the action right away and is a nonstop roller coaster of blast beats, tech riffs, and insane vocals. Check this out and give them some likes on Facebook. You won't be disappointed.
